What’s next for the Pike/Pine pedestrian zone plan?
What does City Hall do when “the community” seemingly disagrees on how to move forward on a civic project? When it comes to the Pike/Pine pedestrian zone and its wide support among nightlife and entertainment patrons and owners, and street activation activists and less enthusiastic elements like some of the daytime-focused businesses and developers of the neighborhood, the answer will be a “community” meeting to set a new course for the plan.
And now a date for that meeting has been set — mark your calendar for June 14th for a community discussion on last summer’s pilot and how to make it work going forward:
Pike/Pine pedestrian zone community meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, June 14, 2016 – 5:00 pm @ 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
WHERE: V2, 1525 11th Ave
City of Seattle and Office of Economic Development representatives will be on hand to present findings from last summer’s Pike/Pine pedestrian zone pilot and listen to feedback and ideas from attendees.
Why should the city really care at all what “developers” think? Seriously. The majority of the major developments in Capitol Hill are being developed by out of town national development companies and REITs. Nobody should give them the time of day.
and what’s with the quotation marks around community? can we not just be, the community; period?
and i agree with you, huskdown. it should be those of us that live (and spend our dollars) in this area that have final say. if the businesses/developers want to add their thoughts that’s fine. but the final say should be the residents.
